  • jakemartin02 Jake Martin (@jakemartin02) reported

    So I think my Overwatch is broken. I have no cosmetics, Golden Guns, my career profile is wrong. The only thing I have is the Ukraine Flag player icon Wtf?

  • shinigamiburger jody kurosaki (@shinigamiburger) reported

    knew there’d be errors and I won’t be able to play overwatch 2 but I still sat here like a dummy counting down for no reason!!!

  • tokyosterror0 🔗AJ🔗 (@tokyosterror0) reported

  • Katy_mo Katy ♓🌙 (@Katy_mo) reported

    Feeling nostalgic for my World of Warcraft Xpac release days staring at this Overwatch 2 screen. 100 players left in the queue... error.... 5000 players left in the queue... error Ahh nostalgia.

  • DarkCat12321 DarkCat12321 (@DarkCat12321) reported

    @NickyP_1 @PlayOverwatch Sorry i never got a notification for this. If they linked their account before october 2nd it should have worked flawlessly. If it ends up not working your account is glitched so all you can do is wait for overwatch to fix the problem.

  • Ixneyhombre 🔴 LIVE 🔴 IxneyHombre (@Ixneyhombre) reported

    Some players who merged their PC and console accounts are seeing an “Unexpected Server Error” I have reset the que 3 times now with 30000 players waiting to try Overwatch 2- @PlayOverwatch This is not a good look

  • pigboy0161 Pigboy016 (@pigboy0161) reported

    No power outage so we gonna be playing Overwatch 2 but sadly que times are long

  • ReadRevengers nick (@ReadRevengers) reported

    Also now I keep getting server errors after I literally got into the game earlier because I had to ******* back out and restart since I wasn't even getting my Overwatch coins that I got for the Battle Pass

  • holorhys digi 🫧 HJ’s spokesperson (@holorhys) reported

    If Blizzard doesn't fix their SMS issue it looks like I might be saying goodbye to Overwatch as a whole! Phone numbers are a great way to add security to your account, but it shouldn't matter what provider it's coming from :] This issue reeks of capitalism and classism, gws

  • CHAINSAWKlD Grim 𒉭 (@CHAINSAWKlD) reported

    @roseantics @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS dw it’s a server issue. everything will be restored once they resolve these issues. They have all your data in the overwatch vaults you won’t lose a thing

  • bitchrate ⛧ VI-V1.CPP ⛧ (@bitchrate) reported

    i think it's pretty based of OW2 to kick ppl out of the login queue bc the game is giving them more time to spend doing things that don't involve perceiving overwatch

  • beau_knows11 Beau Muir (@beau_knows11) reported

    @PlayOverwatch AYE U ****** ******* FIX YO UPDATE THIS AINT NO OVERWATCH 2 THIS OVERWATCH UPDATE #23 STOP RESETING MY QUEUE

  • ArthenExplorer Arthen (@ArthenExplorer) reported

    @JakobZ313 I mean yeah, Overwatch ended its service before TF2 did. So TF2 technically did outlive it.

  • bencast1 Benny (@bencast1) reported

    Overwatch players: SERVER ERRORS ON LAUNCH?! I'm so upset! Apex players: You only get them on launch?!

  • Katy_mo Katy ♓🌙 (@Katy_mo) reported

    Feeling nostalgic for my World of Warcrafr Xpac release days staring at this Overwatch 2 screen. 100 players left in the queue... error.... 5000 players left in the queue... error Ahh nostalgia.

  • BenJHawk Ben Hawkins (@BenJHawk) reported

    I love sitting in 30 minute queues with 30,000 people for Overwatch, just to finally hit 0 players and get an “Unexpected server error occurred”.

  • strawberrim0chi Kiwi (@strawberrim0chi) reported

    meals, call it a ******* depression meal 4. I was looking forward to Overwatch 2 but knowing I can’t get into my battle net account without my old number and multiple friends I’ve made can’t play because of phone number issues, I’d say this launch ******* failed. 5. I’m having

  • maddiee_val maddie 🖤 (@maddiee_val) reported

    @PlayOverwatch what about game freezes? it was an issue a few years back in overwatch 1 if you played in fullscreen, now it's back with overwatch 2. i can play the game just fine, but randomly it freezes at one frame and i can do nothing except killing the process

  • MatthewPorter Matthew Mac Jones (@MatthewPorter) reported

    Hey maybe since Overwatch 2 is broken… could we just go back to Overwatch 1?
